Re: GIRLS ON HBO appreciation/ discussion thread

yeah i agree. i felt like when they were broken up he was mostly in the show in relation to still wanting to be with hannah, but episodes like searching for the dog owner with ray and the boring girlfriend kinda showed him in his own element without hannah so i am sure they will find a way. i wonder if desi will stick around. the actor seems really familiar to me, but i can't place him.

Re: GIRLS ON HBO appreciation/ discussion thread

Last night's episode was entertaining. I love that Shosh is trying to get rid of Jessa's drug buddy, maybe for partly selfish reasons but not entirely. She really has changed this season, finally taking a stand on things.

Hannah's drunken episode at the start got to me. Calling Adam to come out and play while she's hammered with her work pals? But she's never been that respectful of Adam's recovery process to start with. And then later in their role play scene to pretend to offer him vodka, even if it was just water in the glass, just demonstrates how out of touch she is with his needs. Now he's seemingly got the confidence to start stepping away. Earlier in the season they alluded to the fact that when Adam wasn't working, all he did was take care of Hannah. Now it seems like he's got some other life purpose and cares a lot less about meeting her needs all the time.

The blonde wig was great, but whe she took the skirt off it reminded me of what Marnie said about her in season 2 I think? Some thing about how she puts a great dress on and lipstick but forgets to wash her forehead, so really the granny panties were a classic Hannah move.

Re: GIRLS ON HBO appreciation/ discussion thread

ha true. but it's not even the style of panties, but more the logistic. when you wear lingerie like that and insist on wearing panties, at least put the panties on last. otherwise you have to take the lingerie off to remove the panties. or just move them to the side.

Re: GIRLS ON HBO appreciation/ discussion thread

My favorite line and realization bit was when Adam was explaining that their old sex life was before he "loved her" I thought it was cute that he had changed and was open to the "lovey Dovey" type stuff such as cuddling. It also seemed to me that Hannah cant fully let him get into his part, and be productive in his new venture. IMO, this is a great example of what most people do in relationships and why they don't always work. After the show Lena mentioned something about growing together, another obstacle that is difficult for relationships. I enjoyed this because I went through a similar thing with my boyfriend, him trying to be sober, him being sober, and me not being sober and the challenge of trying to grow together but not grow apart. That's a ramble, sorry.

Re: GIRLS ON HBO appreciation/ discussion thread

ok, so rewatching the newest episode. i am annoyed with adam. i get wanting to focus on work, but why live with someone if you have such an inability to do your own thing when someone else is in the house? i guess he already made it clear that he doesn't want marriage. but still, be a goddamn man and learn to live with someone else.

Re: GIRLS ON HBO appreciation/ discussion thread

That's fucking ridiculous. Hannah's pretty much guaranteeing that Patti's prediction becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy by being a psychotic pain in the ass when her boyfriend is actually trying to do something that could be the most important fucking step in his entire life, and he's just supposed to put up with her constant bullshit? This is why women never should have been given the vote.

Re: GIRLS ON HBO appreciation/ discussion thread

i guess. she is being obnoxious lately. maybe i am remembering wrong, but wasn't he interrupting her work at the beginning of the season and annoying her? i guess we're just supposed to take adam's word that she was being even worse before he started staying at rays than he was behaving earlier in the season. either way, dump her if you can't have a real relationship. don't just have sex and walk out.

Re: GIRLS ON HBO appreciation/ discussion thread

and when she was trying to write her book, he wasn't leaving her alone. maybe i need to rewatch, but the only scene i recall where she is interrupting his work is when he is reading that book and she just got out of the shower. how else has she interrupted him trying to work?

Re: GIRLS ON HBO appreciation/ discussion thread

Seriously? You don't recall the scene where she showed up at rehearsal uninvited, or when she showed up at Ray's, or when she staged an absurd pseudo-sexual fantasy, or when she kept annoying him with stupid shit while he was trying to read? There was maybe one scene when she was "writing her book" and it was brief and he acquiesced without any passive aggressive bullshit. Lena isn't constructing this storyline to make you sympathetic to Hannah.

Re: GIRLS ON HBO appreciation/ discussion thread

I have to agree with Ivy- it's bothersome that Adam holds a double standard with Hannah. You'd think he was more progressive. He must know by now that she is obnoxious, but only because she's a strong personality with legitimate talent and wait, wasn't it that very thing that attracted him to her in the first place? Their mutual weirdness and playful demeanor? Isn't that exactly what you want in a journey to creative success with a partner? It bothers me how he gets away with saying "when you work on something this big you'll understand" or whatever.

It seems the story is that he expects her to just wait quietly for him to be successful without her, and she wants to prove Patti wrong by trying everything to be supportive- it's not her fault that he sees her as playtime/plaything. She has been mature in trying to make a home out of their place, in paying for the place, in accepting his family and bringing him into hers, by involving him in her life, by pushing him to take auditions more seriously, and she gets scolded when trying to be part of his. This is immature of Adam, not Hannah- she could be helpful and maybe support him to be a dynamic actor, but he can't see past her as a distraction. (um, story of my life!) It'll be interesting to see if she leaves him or he leaves her over a power trip.

I am SO glad that Marni and Ray got caught- "he made me" oh man I was dying.

Re: GIRLS ON HBO appreciation/ discussion thread

You'd think Adam would be more progressive?

WHAT THE FUCK?

Jesus, some of you need to divorce yourselves from the idea that Hannah is ever supposed to be a relateable character. You idiots are reading exactly into the bullshit narrative that Hannah has concocted in her own mind. This thread's analysis of the show has been almost as unbearable as Hannah herself. How do all of you not realize that every single fucking character in this show is written to be an unbearable piece of shit except for very rare moments when they demonstrate glitters of humanistic reality that even they don't recognize?

Also, he invited her to rehearsal- maybe informally, but he did.

It amazes me how much your personal "perspective" on this situation is completely fucking divorced from the material itself. Lena did not write this intending it to be an even-sided debate about who was right and who was wrong. The entire fucking season has been about her self-centered bullshit negatively impacting her relationship with Adam.

In other words--you cunts need to put your cunts aside when trying to interpret art for a fucking second.

Well put. Although oddly when I think about it, it's mostly the women who get the shit treatment in Lena's rendition. Adam, Ray (despite his faults), and Charlie were all portrayed as being more or less goodish people and frequently put in the position of wisdom with regards to their dynamic interacting with their female counterparts. It's a story about young girls who don't know who they are yet and not so young men who are a bit more worldly and the conflicts that arise as a result. Intriguing. Frankly, the show is kind of sexist.

Re: GIRLS ON HBO appreciation/ discussion thread

Also, Marnie is the best fucking character. No one gives a fuck if you don't like her or if you feel awkward about how terrible she is, that is the absolute fucking point. She is such a well manicured mess.
